- Religious views of Conscience
- FLETCHER
- Prospective, NOT restrospective
- Conscience is your active decision in the moment
- "There is no conscience, 'consceince' is merely a word for our attempts to make decisions creatively, constructively, fittingly"
- Conscience is NOT: innate, guided by hole spirit or internalised values of society.
- Influenced by his theory of Situation ethics
- About what agape love demands in that particular situation
- Conscience is a verb: something we do NOT something we have
- Something we do when we are deciding and calculating how love is best served in a situation
- AUGUSTINE
- Following our conscience is following divine law
- When Gods love and moral virtue revealed - humans experience their inadequacy of love and moral virtue
- Conscience is God's love being put into humans
- Our conscience is the hearing of Gods voice telling us right and wrong
- Conscience is most important element of mora decision making
- More important that teachings of the church
- EVALUATION
- Easy to follow - just listen
- If correct - infallible
- Flexible and universable
- It's active, tells you how to behave
- Everyone's conscience is different, why would God do that?
- How do you know your listening to your conscience and not another voice
- Free will?
- "See God as your witness"
